Henry Ward Beecher
Image
If men had wings and bore black feathers, Few of them would be clever enough to be crows.

Henry Ward Beecher

The natural term of an apple-pie is but twelve hours. It reaches its highest state about one hour after it comes from the oven, and just before its natural heat has quite departed. But every hour afterward is a declension. And after it is one day old, it is thence-forward but the ghastly corpse of apple-pie.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Troubles loom up big when they're ahead, And joys seem always sweeter when they're past.

Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The things required for prosperous labor, prosperous manufactures, and prosperous commerce are three. First, liberty second, liberty third, liberty.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Some folks think that Christianity means a kind of insurance policy, and that it has little to do with this life, but that it is a very good thing when a man dies.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
It is not what we read, but what we remember, that makes us learned. It is not what we intend, but what we do that makes us useful. It is not a few faint wishes, but a life long struggle, that makes us valiant.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There is a power in the human mind ... to see things as they are ... but there is equally a power to see things as they might be.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The thistle is a prince. Let any man that has an eye for beauty take a view of the whole plant, and where will he see a more expressive grace and symmetry and where is there a more kingly flower?
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Victories that come cheap are cheap. Those only are worth having which come as the result of hard fighting.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
It takes a man to make a devil.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A man should fear when he only enjoys what good he does publicly. Is it not the publicity rather than the charity he loves? Is it not vanity, rather than benevolence, that gives such charities?
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
THERE are joys which long to be ours.
